Bill of Material Format

Bill of Material Format

Bill of Material Format

(OP)
I need to reformat the appearance of the inserted BOM on the face of my CATIA dwg.

I need to modify not just the cell lengths, but also the font, font size, cell height, justification of text with cell, etc.  Does anyone know how I can get started on this?

I found the CATAsmBOM.CATRsc file, but it only deals with cell length.

RE: Bill of Material Format

Hello,
BOM generation uses current font settings ie. modify font in text properties bar before generating BOM

Timo,

Thank you for your response!

Yes, I know of the "font default" action.  However, I am looking for a way to permenantly change the BOM's that are generated.  If I make a change to any of the children components, the BOM will regenerate back to the original form.  I am still looking for a way to change cell hieght and lock in these characxteristic.  Is there a way to disconnect (or isolate) BOM tabled?

Thanks,
Ken

RE: Bill of Material Format

There is no way today (V5R10)to save a BOM-format and reuse it on another drawing (that I know of). Does anyone have any ideas?

RE: Bill of Material Format

Hello!

I've got a problem with BOM, but not in CATIA dwg.

I want to know if there is a way to put the catalog's attributes in a BOM.

Can I just use the attributes I have in properties box?
Can I visualize the catalog's attributes in a BOM?

Thanks!

Regards.
Everton.
